Outside the classroom: In my free time, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, staying active, and finding ways to serve my community. I love being involved in my church and participating in worship and youth activities. I also enjoy volunteering, attending community events, and supporting local teams through the Yukon Quarterback Club. When I’m not volunteering, I like to relax by listening to music, being outdoors, and exploring new places. These hobbies keep me balanced, motivated, and connected to the people around me.

During high school, I was actively involved in Student Council, Leadership, and Partners Club, where I developed strong teamwork and communication skills. At Southern Nazarene University, I continue to stay engaged through Salt and Hope Rising, organizations that strengthen my sense of community and service. Outside of school, I’m involved in the Yukon Quarterback Club and Project Graduation, supporting local students and families. I also serve faithfully in my church’s children’s ministry, nursery, and youth worship team, which has deepened my passion for serving others and growing in leadership through faith and compassion.
